Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan engaged in a phone discussion with Oman’s Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said, focusing on strengthening bilateral relations and addressing significant regional matters. During their conversation, Erdoğan underscored the critical need to avoid any escalation of conflicts in the region, asserting that such developments would yield no benefits. He highlighted the importance of supporting diplomatic efforts to sustain peace and stability.
Erdoğan assured that Türkiye remains committed to collaborating with regional partners to foster enduring peace and mitigate tensions across the Middle East. In particular, he reiterated Türkiye’s steadfast support for peace and stability within the Palestinian territories, promising to continue advocating for Palestinian rights on international stages.
The dialogue also saw an exchange of warm Eid Al-Adha greetings, with Erdoğan conveying his best wishes to Sultan Haitham ahead of the Islamic holiday. This gesture reflects the close and growing relationship between Türkiye and Oman, strengthened over recent years through enhanced political and economic cooperation.
In 2024, Sultan Haitham made his inaugural official visit to Türkiye, marking a pivotal moment in the development of bilateral ties. Since then, both nations have maintained active coordination on regional issues, consistently supporting diplomatic solutions to the ongoing challenges in the Middle East.
